Highlights
Contains mineral oil
Formulation view This eyeliner features an isododecane and silsesquioxane base for a matte, volatile finish, hardened with carnauba wax. Metallic pigments include bronze and iron oxides. Preservation relies on benzyl alcohol and caprylyl glycol. From a factory perspective, silicate powder fineness is critical for uniform film formation and suspension, requiring strict temperature control for optimal texture and application.
